News - Middle East: Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has carried out a successful retaliatory strike against a group of Israeli forces advancing towards a town in the country’s extreme south.

The operation was carried out near the town of Aita al-Shaab on Monday, the group announced.

“While three Merkava tanks of the Israeli enemy were advancing towards the outskirts of the town, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance bombed them with guided missiles, achieving direct hits,” it said.

“Tongues of fire were seen erupting from the vehicles, and their occupants were killed and wounded,” the movement added.

Hezbollah has launched hundreds of such strikes against the occupied Palestinian territories since last October, when the Israeli regime began bringing the Gaza Strip under a genocidal war and intensifying its deadly attacks against Lebanon. The war and the escalation have so far claimed the lives of more than 42,280 Palestinians and upwards of 2,300 Lebanese people.

Also on Monday, the group announced using rocket salvos to target gatherings of enemy forces at a radar site and the Barkhta farm in Lebanon’s Tel Aviv-occupied Shebaa Farms as well as the Ruwaisat al-Alam site in the country’s Kfar Shuba Hills, which is likewise under Israeli occupation.

Groups of enemy troops were also struck in the settlements of Margaliot and Kiryat Shmona, Khallet Warda, and the Zarit barracks in the northern parts of the occupied territories.

The operations came only a day after Hezbollah reported carrying out a drone strike on the military base for the Golani Brigade in Binyamina south of the city of Haifa in the northern areas, leaving four of the regime’s forces dead and dozens more injured.

And a day earlier, it had also launched a retaliatory strike against the outskirts of the city of Tel Aviv with a squadron of kamikaze drones.

The group has vowed to sustain its strikes until the regime ceased its aggression against Gaza and Lebanon.
